Bluetooth streaming without addons ? is it possible ?
Is it possible to stream bluetooth music directly into the idrive (CIC) ? I know the latest bmw have the function, my car is a 2011 LCI X5, i wonder if I am too dumb to figure it out or if I really need to get into the Y cable + bluetooth received to get my streaming to work ... PS: I just bought the car, I'll post pics shortly |

I am answering to myself...
http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...abilities.html sniff sniff.. my car is a very early LCI build. Production date April 29 2010 !! So I also don't have the software update menu command.. Please can someone offer some help and get me the streaming and software update ? Does anybody knows if that is possible ? and what I would need ? It is not life and death for me but I hate to miss on functionalities. |

can you elaborate ? what is the combox ?
I mean do I have to make the whole upgrade like you did from CCC to CIC ? That would suck.. |

I assume we are talking about this
ConnectedDrive Retrofits sounds like $1000 coming out of my pocket pretty soon Also certainly needing this to code: BMW INPA / Ediabas K+DCAN USB Interface |

^^ Combox can be had for about $300 New on ebay, or about $100 used from a recycler. I just did my retrofit and even though I do my own coding, I got someone else to do the combox because its a little tricky (especially if you want BMW live and Internet).

I've been doing some reading...
Will the combox bring me more than A2DP bluetootht streaming ? I mean, will that give me the BMW apps ? or the 'software upgrade' menu ? |

live and internet would require me to do the tethering, so I am not looking into that as I am the unlimited att plan and if I modify it for tethering I'll loose it damned att scammers!
which recycler I can buy one used from ? I assume that kind of stuff either work or don't. At $100, I think worth the gamble.. |

You can search many recyclers using Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market
Pick a 2011 - 2012 X5 and select computer box not engine. Then select communications.
